Law school internship opportunity
The Macomb County Prosecuting Attorney Law School Internship Program provides law school students the unique opportunity to gain “hands-on” experience with the responsibilities and duties of a Macomb County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney. Pursuant to Michigan Court Rule 8.120, student interns are given authority to appear and represent the people of the state of Michigan in court proceedings. Though intern duties will vary based upon the day-to-day needs of the office, student interns typically engage in activities such as plea negotiations, bench trials, formal hearings, case review, legal research, and appellate brief writing. Some may appear at various family court proceedings, and Probate Court involuntary mental health committal hearings. Student interns may also have the opportunity to prepare and conduct one or more jury trials. This program is geared toward students interested in courtroom and appellate experience.
